Thousands of public schoolteachers in San Francisco launched a strike on Monday, marking the city’s first such industrial action in nearly 50 years. The walkout has led to the closure of all 120 schools within the San Francisco Unified School District, impacting approximately 50,000 students, with some offered independent study.
The strike follows a breakdown in negotiations between teachers and the district over demands for higher wages, improved health benefits, and increased resources for students with special educational needs.
